RUSTON - Louisiana Tech improved its home tennis record to 8-1 with a 6-1 win over Jackson State on Wednesday at the Louisiana Tech Tennis Complex.

The Lady Techsters started the day with an 8-3 win by Elne Barnard and Anna Zurek in No. 1 doubles and then an 8-4 win by Vivian ten Dolle and Maartje de Wit in No. 2 doubles.
